Does that pipe hit well.....do you get realy stoned smoking out of it?:stoned:
it took me three days, mainly because I needed a vehicle to get the feathers, beads and leather and I didn't want my father to know about it. Also this pipe is for tobaco I'm gonna make another in the same style for weed so I can use this pipe in public :smokin:

After doing some research I found out how native americans used to do it.
1) Take an easily spilt-able wood,such as maple, clean it of the bark if you wish first
2) Next use a thin sharp knife, I used a razor blade, and start at one end begin working it down, splitting it as close to the center as you can to the center
3) Take the now two halves and carve a channel down the center of each but not so large the sides no longer fit together
4)Now glue/lash the two halves together, use a very small amount of glue, I kept the helmp string on until the glue dried, later I wrapped the stem in wet leather lace tightley as to help hold it together (as leather dries it tightens up)
